SPAIN: Pliocene, Screen 1

Near Huelva in southern Spain there are vast pliocene outcrops, with a lot of shells, along roads and in farmland. We are not aware of any literature dealing with this location, so the identification is difficult. There is however some resemblance with the miocene deposits in southern Portugal.
